Hydro Blasting Melbourne — Safe, Precise & Versatile

Hydro blasting (sometimes called vapour blasting or wet blasting) is one of the most effective methods for cleaning and polishing a wide range of surfaces. Using a continuous flow of water combined with fine glass bead media, hydro blasting cleans and refines surfaces while reducing dust and heat build-up.

At Blastoff Surface Cleaning & Protective Coatings, we use hydro blasting for both internal and external surfaces—particularly where abrasive blasting may be too aggressive. It’s ideal for reaching intricate areas, threads, cavities, or internal components that are difficult to access with traditional blasting methods.

Surfaces Suitable for Hydro Blasting:

  • Metals: Aluminium, stainless steel, alloy, cast iron, bronze, magnesium, titanium, brass, copper.
  • Non-metals: Plastics, composites, and rubber.
  • Complex parts: Engine components, machinery housings, moulds, and heritage details.

Hydro blasting is often used alongside Abrasive Blasting for multi-stage preparation, or before applying Industrial Painting, Phosphating, or Epoxy Coatings.

How It Works

Assessment

We review your surface or part to confirm suitability for hydro blasting.

Media & Pressure Selection

Fine glass bead media is combined with water at controlled pressure.

Hydro Blasting Application

Surfaces are cleaned and polished in a dust-free, low-friction process.

Optional Protective Treatment

Surfaces can be sealed with Industrial Painting or Epoxy Coating for added corrosion resistance.

QA & Handover

Final checks ensure the finish meets specification and is ready for use or coating.
